Just ducking in here- I will comfirm that. I have an internship at IBM this summer and I just installed a WebSphere server on my cell phone/PDA device (Siemens SX66, to be exact) earlier today. You can also do multimodal browsers (that means it does text-to-speech and voice recognition for pages which have been appropriately marked up; see http://www-306.ibm.com/software/pervasive/multimodal/ for details...) on the device. At the same time. Uses the NetFront browser (and for debugging on the PC, usually Opera).
But heck, I have a four-year-old computer with a 733mhz processor and 128 megs of RAM. The PDA has a 400Mhz processor (ARM, not PIII) and the same amount of RAM. Why not? The power's there...
I'd say more, but there's a pesky little NDA that I signed.

If you can run Java and Python on it, why not run a server? :)
